Look for a 12A408 Thermostat Housing. They did fit them on some Morris Minors and some MG Models. They seem a little thin on the ground in the UK ?? but quite readily available in these parts;-

These take the stock Mini Temp sender.

 

Thread bump... Do you know if the Morris Minor equivalent used a different thread? Seen some posts online which state 3/8 BSP? 

 

 

The only covers I have come across has a 5/8" UNF Thread with the tapered seat, just like that in the Heads.

I'm pretty sure I have one in the box, if I remember, I'll snap off some photos.

If I recall, Kilkenny Castings make them here;-

Unlike the MPi this sensor does not control the auxiliary cooling fan, its controlled by the switch in the bottom of the rad.
